I've had the following pop up the last four or so days. I was wondering if this is my HDD failing or if it's something else? This happens every time I start my computer and if I let it go it just gets stuck at complete forcing me to force a restart.

I apologize for the quality of picture. It's a WD blue 1TB HDD. It's roughly 5 years old and it's never had a problem until now. My SDD currently runs windows and a single game. The HDD has everything else on it.
- I've tried using the WD diagnostic which fails everything except the "SMART test".
- I've scanned it with the windows repair and it says there are no problems.
- I have also tried EaseUS Partition Master which runs the chkdsk d: /r and /f command and nothing pops up.
So I'm at a complete loss. I just want to know if I should buy a new HDD or if this is a problem with software?
